* INTRODUCTION  

* This .do file contains the commands to replicate my article's empirical analysis 
* using STATA.  Also please note that these data were updated to include a handful of observations
* (approx. 10) since the article was submitted to Harvard Negotiation Law Review.  These data
* allow you to replicate the results reported, although not the exact statistics.
*
* The data include some variables broadly discussed in the paper but not analyzed in final models.
* I include this additional information to allow others to examine alternate specifications of 
* the statistical models.

* GENERATING THE CASE FACTOR SCORES

* The data file on individual mediators contains the composite case factors variables used in the 
* analysis reported in Table 11.  These case factors are generated from the case-level observations
* using the following commands:

collapse (mean) predictFromCaseFactors, by (mediator)

* This generates a case factors statistic for each mediator's caseload.  I save this file to my
* local hard drive and merge it with the data on individual mediators to analyze mediator effectiveness.
